Ok so I checked the level of my oil and it was past the sight level when not running, when the engine is running the oil level is right in the middle of that little sight window. I know when I filled it I was careful to not overfill because there was too much gear case oil when I bought it. So gas could be seeping in.? I usually turn off the gas valve but there have been times I have forgot. I haven't taken it on any long rides just short rides around the cabin. How bad is it for the engine if gas is mixed in? I know it's very bad for a four stroke. I will do a oil change next time I'm up and see what I find. However I mixed my gas a bit on the lean side maybe 55:1 and there was less oil in the exhaust. I think my last tank could of been more on the rich side of 50:1.
